200NL AQs tough river decision
 

Villian seems solid from what I've observed. My image was LAG. I have been getting a lot of playable hands, and have been caught bluffing once or twice. Since then I've settled down, and have been relatively inactive for the last couple orbits. Not sure if anyone has noticed any of this though. What do you put SB on?

I just started playing 200NL and I would bet the turn in this spot. Can you explain why you didn't?

wtf... you induced a bluff... now call it.

Re: 200NL AQs tough river decision
 

Bet the turn, if you had only flushdraw or only TPTK check is fine, but now you have fckin both.

As played, insta-call river.

Yeah the turn check behind is definitely a debatable play. I remember reading about a very similar hand in the high stakes NL section a while back, and the reason that the turn check was recommended is because if villian has a set, the last thing you want to do is get blown out of the water with a CR. If he has a flush draw, you want him to stay in. And if he has any other air-ish type hand like a small pocket pair, he'll likely bluff the river or pay off a value bet. But maybe this is not high stakes so this advice is not optimal?

No way I would fold that.
I would've bet the turn as well.

It's just that your hand is so strong right now you want to build a pot. Against an aggressive villain who might c/r me off my hand, I would consider checking behind. Against an average 200NL player though, I would bet the turn. As played, definitely call river.

Easy call.

I like every street.
